Physician-modified fenestrated stent grafts for aortic dissection aneurysm / 中华普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (fEVAR) using physician-modified stent grafts(PMSGs) to repair aortic dissection aneurysm.Methods Nine consecutive patients who underwent fEVAR using PMSGs from Jan 2018 to Jun 2018 were retrospectively reviewed.Results Nine PMSGs (6 Ankura stent grafts,3 COOK Zenith stent grafts) were deployed.Initial technical success rate was 97.0％ (32 of 33).Mean operative time was (303 ± 51) min.There were no in-hospital death and no perioperative neurology complications.All the patients survived at a median follow-up of 6.1 mouths (ranging 3-10 months).During follow up,no postoperative complications occurred,all target vessels remained patent and no fenestration-related type Ⅰ endoleak were observed.There are 3 cases of type Ⅱ and 2 cases of type Ⅲ endoleaks respectively.Conclusions FEVAR using PMSGs may be a viable alternative for patients with post aortic dissection aneurysm.
